As long as people want to buy illegal things online, I don't think bitcoin will go to zero. That has, and always will be, it's only rational use case.

Please please please don't use Bitcoin for crime. The tx logs are public so you're much more likely to get caught. Use Monero, or if you're cashing out a defi hack or scam or whatever then use Tornado Cash. Hope this helps.

Wow. I just learned that all the toyally legit things I've done with Bitcoin are all illegal.

You can use a helicopter to commute to work. It's just not a very rational thing for most people to do.

Your response has nothing to do with what I've responded to in the parent comment.

By rational, I mean the only time it is better than other methods. Buying legal things with bitcoin is slower, more expensive, dramatically more environmentally harmful, and dangerous to the consumer (no regulation). Truly no upside in real life applications unless you're trying to do illegal things.

You must be living in a perfect society with zero government/political corruption.

Good for you.

What “totally legit” things have you been doing with crypto? Curious to know more.

Donations? Purchasing stuff?

(And before you ask, NO, there were no other possible ways for me to do those donations to people in war or purchase those stuff where crypto and PayPal were the only way to pay and PayPal is blocked in my corrupted country)

So... you're saying that what you did is a crime in your country?
Re:Temporary pause of Bitcoin withdrawals on Binance by can16358p on Tuesday June 14, 2022 @03:29AM (#31735818)
No, nothing I did was crime. If you reached that conclusion you need to re-read the entire thread.

Probably a sovereign citizen type who thinks that the existence of government is a crime to humanity. Gotta have some windmills to tilt at.

Existence of government? No. Corrupted government? Yes.
